Wanted: Tips for Acne, Oily Skin

Oct 14, 2011

Hey Beauties, I have a skin problem. I have small acne bumps on my face and darker acne scars. I use Clinique Acne Kit and it helped with my bigger bumps, however it left me with darker spots. My skin is oily and at times a little sensitive. Do any of you guys have any kind of tips that will help me? I will certainly appreciate it. Thank you :)

Try exfoliating once/twice a week, depending on how sensitive your skin is (:

I have oily and acne prone skin too and am currently trying to fix the problem. I have heard that Fresh Farmacy and Grease Lightning from Lush are good but I haven't tried them personally. I've also heard olive oil is good for the skin. I am personally going to try some organic products as I have sensitive skin too.

Try doing a honey and sugar scrub once or twice a week. It won't be over night, but I hear honey helps reduce dark spots and scars over time.

for the dark spots try cliniques dark spot remover....im not sure if that comes in the kit that you are using but it worked wonders for me...i recommend it every chance i get lol...but you can go to sephora and get a sample of it and try it out and see if it works for you before purchasing it...i also started using retin-a which has to be prescribed by a doctor but it has done wonders for my face...and since you said that you have oily skin you want to make sure that your using an oil free mositurizer...i love the ddf ultra lite oil free dew another amazing product that you can get a sample of from sephora....alot of people think that acne comes from your face not being clean or heridity but it can also come from not moisturizing correctly as well...hope this helps!

i get oily skin! i hate it and if feels gross
i steam my face twice a week and i add salt and lemon juice to the water
and when the water cools i get a clean cloth and soak it in the water and press it on my face
i dont get half as many problems since i tried this :)

Before going to bed apply ice on the face. This will reduce the inflammation and burning sensation on the skin and also help get rid of acne scars.
